What grabs my attention is how the baby's skull absolutely chock-full of brain - there doesn't seem to be any "cushioning" fluid space between the skull and the brain like the mother (like most adults, I'd assume) h

It would be nice to know something about the accuracy of the age estimate (stdev? or 66% of 29-year old's trials are between blaah and blaah?), and also, how many tries did the test subjects get. I got a couple of "we are not sure

White has first-mover advantage, maybe your browser does not support asm.js? At least on Firefox blue won, but the page load so slow I don't care to repeat the experiment right now.

Well, if it's actually a Dyson swarm in the making, we'll find out, watching the star go gradually dark during the next few hundred (or thousand?) years..

You don't have have to put all of the 52MWh side-by-side.

For purposes of deciding where money and resources are best spent, I don't think it makes any difference whether there was someone with intent to harm or not. You can spend money to construct safer railway crossings, you can spend mone

Confidence, or conscious willingness to take steps to unknown (will to explore)?

Pigs age about 5 times faster than humans. Wouldn't pig organs age 5 times faster than humans also? That might be one more thing you needed to tinker in pig DNA. Make pigs (or at least the target organs) long lived. All this tinkering

1.4 billion people, just have to nitpick on that.

Drag force is proportional to 2nd power of velocity, power lost to drag is force*speed, which is 3rd power of velocity.

Air drag is proportional to the front facing area of the vehicle, that is 2nd power of cyclists dimension (for example, height, we are assuming that humans have approximately similar shape, regardless of size). Max power grows to 3rd power

Well, you'd end up with something like this: https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~wang30y/csp/ParabolicDish.html GaAs panels have ~40% efficiency. It's not easy/dirt cheap (you need high temperatures, and mat

Generally causation and correlation can only be distinguished by running experiments. Given that we only have 1 earth climate, long time needed to gather reliable results, and the quite apparent correlation, which experiment would you like

I've heard a couple of other sites like this, is there a googlable term for them? A directory? Soudscape site? The rain sound loops a bit too often in longer listening.

Maybe it's because the sheep make sound when they start running, and the OP test is visual only. I feel that I react faster to sound... I dunno tho.

If people (politicians, and public) would just get rid of their prejudices and we could just develop a nuclear reactor for outer system exploration and be done with it... Fuel would not be such a pain to manufacture, there'd be oodles

And it's not just oil. It's all the minerals we've been mining since the dawn of civilization - take copper: before copper age one could find nuggets of pure copper metal [1], in ancient Egypt it was produced from ores with 1

Denying tech sales to China, at this stage is just causing minor nuisance. In not-so-far future China is going to be much stronger economy than US ever was. If they want the bigger computers, they will have the bigger computers. Just calcul

I think people might overestimate the effect of machines being capable of improving themselves. I don't believe in "magic algorithm"s, that we can't find, that perform dramatically better, but computer can find. I think

Actually, we have _not_ stopped evolving because of natural selection. A significant proportion of people choose not to have kids nowadays, or are just having one child. In a generation or five all this "I don't want kids because

Why would the batch auction need to be FIFO? What about something like this: 1) When opening a "new tick", release data about trades in last tick, and start accepting new orders. Information about orders submitted to this tick is
